The idea of a moral economy has been explored and assessed in numerous disciplines. The anthropological studies in this volume provide a new perspective to this idea by showing how the relations of workers, employees and employers, and of firms, families and households are interwoven with local notions of moralities. From concepts of individual autonomy, kinship obligations, to ways of expressing mutuality or creativity, moral values exert an unrealized influence, and these often produce more consent than resistance or outrage.
Kakalar Günü, Fatih Erdoğan’ın yazdığı iki öyküden oluşuyor: Kakalar Günü ve Fındık Ezmesi... Kitaba adını veren Kakalar Günü öyküsü Güçlüpınar Kasabası’nda geçiyor. Günlerden bir gün Güçlüpınar Kasabası’na tuhaf görünüşlü bir adam gelir ve tuhaf sorular sorar. Kasabalılar bu soruları zamanla unutup gitseler de bir tanesi önce kafalarını kurcalamaya, sonra içlerine dert olmaya, en sonunda da onları sıkıntıdan patlatmaya başlar. Herkes bu sorunu başkalarıyla paylaşmaya utandığından da bir türlü çözüm bulamazlar. Güçlüpınar sakinlerinin başına gelen bu ilginç olay da tarihe Kakalar Günü olarak geçer... Fındık Ezmesi...
This book investigates the moral dimensions of petty capitalism in Russia. Drawing on an ethnographic enquiry into the small-scale, family-based private sector of the city of Smolensk, it examines the values, moral ideas and sentiments that are entangled in the everyday workings of small businesses. The book situates the realm of values within the broader dynamics of Russia's political economy and the global circuits of capital. The moral frameworks of entrepreneurs incorporate conflicting values, such that moralities associated with the Soviet order are intertwined with market orientations and neoliberal ideologies. Daria Tereshina is a postdoctoral fellow at the Laboratory for Studies in Economic Sociology, National Research University, Higher School of Economics, Moscow, Russia.

This book engages critically with mainstream accounts of Anatolian Tigers in contemporary Turkey. Based on her fieldwork in Çorum, Deniz explores the dynamics of medium-size businesses with a dual optic of political economy and moral economy. She demonstrates that the formation of the entrepreneurial stratum is a multifaceted process and zooms into a range of workplaces to show the entanglements of market and non-market dynamics in everyday life. This innovative work sheds original light on the role of kinship, religion and social values in shaping the everyday politics of labour. Ceren Deniz taught 'Economic Anthropology' at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg in 2020-2021.
Women all over the world are facing numerous challenges and obstacles in the workplace as gender inequality is still running rampant. To see big change, the patriarchal mindset within business settings needs to be broken. Management education plays a critical role in changing perceptions in business, and as such, gender equality curricula and teaching materials have become valuable tools in challenging the preconceived belief that business is a male domain. Eastern Perspectives on Women’s Roles and Advancement in Business presents the real-life stories of Eastern women in business, giving particular focus to how these women overcame challenges and broke the glass ceiling. This text explores the problems and challenges, experiences, and strategies of overcoming gender discrimination and inequality. Covering topics such as job engagement, occupational segregation, and social intelligence, this book is a dynamic reference for faculty of higher education, school administrators, librarians, researchers, scholars, women entrepreneurs, businesswomen, managers, CEOs, and students of higher education.
Among its Continental peers, Austria has stood out for its longstanding state recognition of the Muslim community as early as 1912. A shift has occurred more recently, however, as populist far-right voices within the Austrian government have redirected public discourse and put into question Islam’s previously accepted autonomous status within the country. Politicizing Islam in Austria examines this anti-Muslim swerve in Austrian politics through a comprehensive analysis of government policies and regulations, as well as party and public discourses. In their innovative study, Hafez and Heinisch show how the far-right Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ) adapted anti-Muslim discourse to their political purposes and how that discourse was then appropriated by the conservative center-right Austrian People’s Party (ÖVP). This reconfiguration of the political landscape prepared the way for a right-wing coalition government between conservatives and far-right actors that would subsequently institutionalize anti-Muslim political demands and change the shape of the civic conditions and public perceptions of Islam and the Muslim community in the republic.

Kontrolleri dışında hayatları birleşen iki genç… Ayaz, hayatının merkezine koyduğu kızla nasıl baş edeceğini bilmiyordu. İpek, onun hayatına dahil olma sebebini çok sonradan öğrenecekti. Biri hayatın karşısına çıkardığı okları takip etmişti, diğeri içindeki fırtınaya rağmen fedakârlığı seçmişti. Çok kırdılar, çok döktüler. Ne hayatlarındaki köklü değişime ne de başına buyruk kalplerine dur diyebildiler. Birbirlerine savaş açsalar da teselliyi yine hep birbirlerinde aradılar. Ama akılla, mantıkla ve inatla girdikleri bu savaşta asıl söz sahibinin kalpleri olacağını bilemediler…
